We can, but it requires not having billionaires.

No more billionaires, but everyone can be a millionaire.

The shortest path to equality is to greatly reduce taxes on the middle class and increase them on the wealthy.

It puzzles me why leftist parties don't all embrace lower taxes for the middle class.

A lot of leftist view taxes as a good thing, when taken from those who can afford them

Taxes have never been the issue. How they are used is. But that gets obfuscated so that the 99% shoot ourselves in the foot

Taxes are DEFINITELY an issue when I pay more taxes than many billion dollar corporations.

Yes. You (and I, and most of us) are experiencing the end result of the American people being played with a deceiving narrative. "No taxes" is a con game to get us to this type of situation
